What about Tavon Austin from WVU? They have so many weapons on that offense, but their defense is so horrible that their offense hasn't gotten any recognition since they beat Texas.
All I learned in all of this is that if I put aluminum and sodium hydroxide together it creates an explosion. Well now I think I have something to replace those dry ice bombs I set off every summer.
hydrogen gas under pressure bursts the bottle.
The hydrogen gas does not ignite, it's merely the byproduct of a chemical reaction between Hydrochloric acid (e.g. Draino) and aluminum foil. In a sealed bottle the hydrogen gas keeps building up and building up until the bottle fails and makes a really loud popping sound when it bursts.
This is in no way equivalent to a house's natural gas supply line being used to turn it into a gigantic fuel-air explosive.
look at the draino+foil "bomb" video above and watch this video... which is more equivalent to that incident in Indianapolis... completely different orders of magnitude.

My take on this guy looking at film is that the big ??? is can be be an effective passer in BCS football? As a runner he's got great burst/acceleration and agility, and appears to have a good sturdy build for running the ball as QB. However, he lacks elite top-end speed and probably won't be a home run threat in the ACC. Note that he makes Jonathan Allen look slow while escaping pass rush but in another highlight he gets caught from behind by a DB 40 yards into a long run.
1) He's short for a QB at 6'0" (translating high school measurements, he's really 5'11") that's not a killer but it is a limitation that has to be overcome with exceptional vision, and great passing skills.
2) his highlight passes look on the money but the highlights I've seen don't show him throwing as much as they do him running
3) release he seems to have a quick release, even on the move, which is certainly a positive considering he may have to shift around in the pocket to see down field at times.
From the limited highlights, it looks like Hanover has a run-first spread offense, with plenty of QB power runs behind the TB. How often is he passing the ball?
He seems like a guy who could be really effective in a Oregon style spread offense where the QB has to have excellent burst to get around the end on the weak side when running the read option but isn't relied on to be a home run threat.
there is no if.
That's still pretty damn scary. Like he looks like he's raging in that picture.
I played against his brother and him growing up.
It's definitely genes.
They were the biggest kids I had ever seen in my life, and I doubt they had started taking steroids at age 6
You wont like him when he is angry
'Roids much?
That's about 1,000 more than all of the others I've written.
Imagine him on read options.
Already found his nickname, too.

He's a senior, and Rivals says he's receiving interest from Alabama, BC, JMU, VT, and UVA among others...with no offers yet.
Dude those are just noise makers. We used to make things like that all the time in the Corps of Cadets (unofficially of course) by putting MRE heaters in with water and shaking them up before throwing. The chemical reaction causes heat therefore expansion and explodes. Pretty loud but that's it. It's not like they tried to tape shrapnel to it or something.

Seems really under the radar, I didn't watch the film (probably should, studying) but is he a senior/any offers?
Show up to the tree outs!
TheArchitect compares it to soup making a microwave messy, while Charlie compares it to blowing up 36 houses. I don't know who's right but the extreme opposites are hilarious to me.
It's ridiculous to compare somebody making a bottle burst for shits and giggles with someone who planned on blowing up a house. Even calling it a bomb seems overzealous. A 5th grader could do this. Look it up on youtube and you'll see it's nothing.

# | London Fires Coaches, Grants Rocco's Release, Still Refuses to Call Timeouts not as pro bayside for sure .. but definitely uva-leaning ... i think he's high on michigan's list too -- if he doesn't end up at uva, i could see him at michigan

# | London Fires Coaches, Grants Rocco's Release, Still Refuses to Call Timeouts Is a big time pro-uva school so keep that in mind a-la Bayside of the Richmond area
and Dorrien would have been if he hadn't taken the NCSU job.
....which is surprising.
I think the Bud Foster HC ship has sailed.
I went to Atlee and Hanover is our in-town rivals so I've seen him play plenty. Hanover definitely plays a run-first offense, but he has a pretty good arm and he's pretty smart with the ball. He doesn't have explosive speed but he can make people miss in open space.
